In this detailed study of warrior philosophy, and technical proficiency, Dr. Shane has exposed the connections between, Eastern philosophy, and the physical movements of the martial artist. This book explores in detail not only the role of the martial artist in today's society, but also the ultimate goal of martial art training, that of connecting the forces of the planet and the spirit, with those of the human body to create a deadly weapon. By enlisting some of the foremost martial artists in the practical application of lethal technique, Dr. Shane has also provided many techniques through ample photographs, that can be practiced and added to any advanced practitioner's arsenal. This book is a must for those interested in the real, practical, and ultimately lethal aspects of martial art training, all while making the critical link to the moral underpinnings, both western and eastern that represent "The Do". - Travis G.
